We disagree. Nearly all that you named was less historic and more commercial venues that can be found in most mall areas. Historic interests us but not the commercialized shops. Different strokes as they say.
I totally disagree, but then again my opinion is based on my experience as a history teacher. San Antonio is one of the great historical treasures of our nation. The Alamo and Riverwalk are the most visited attractions in the Lone Star State, so I guess I'm not alone in my observation. As I mentioned upstream, the Alamo and Alamo Plaza are about to undergo some major restoration. But saying that everything historical in San Antonio is nothing more than shopping mall is not accurate. I'll stake my history degrees on it. I am sorry you must have had a bad experience here; but if you had called me I have made sure you enjoyed your visit a little more!
